Fredericksburg, Texas RanchesFredericksburg, Texas RanchesApril 12 - 17, 2007. We parked our motorhome at Lady Bird Johnson City Park 3-miles south of Fredericksburg on SR-16; $20 FHU including cable with paved sites. We tend to like Lady Bird Johnson City Park when we are in Fredericksburg because the RV-sites are situated under the canopy of mature pecan trees but there are several more RV-Parks that are good as well. The Fredericksburg RV-Park on Highway Street is another good park but it cost more and doesn't have mature trees that provide shade. Fredereicksburg is located in the heart of "Texas Hill Country". Donkey on ranch outside Fredericksburg, Texas
Donkeys are common animals throughout the Hill Country. Sometimes they are cute pets while others are placed in with goats and sheep. Ranchers do that because donkeys are know to protect sheep and goats from coyotes. This one was probably a cute pet.

Male goats about to butt heads on ranch near Fredericksburg, Texas
We happened upon these two rams who had squared off in a battle for supremacy. They would back off like these two, then charge each other with heads down raming into each other at full speed. The crash of horns was very loud. We watched for 10-minutes as this ritual played out in time honored fashion. One is going to get "lucky" the other is going to nurse a severe headache. Such is life.
